Saturday Stuff - like first grandchildren, a poll about television; Caetyn, Elizabeth... and other gorgeous folks, like Cap's grandmother...,...

Saturday is supposed to be relaxed.
Or maybe productive - what with housework and all.

It IS a different day than all the rest... for most of us.

For me - today - it means settling down... giving myself a holiday of sorts.
And tonight I get to see my nephew Cap. !!!

I remember when I was young and my Grandmother Jennie wanted to take Peggy and me (and Mother) all around east Texas to see older relatives. Peggy and I could care less. We'd look at each other and roll our eyes. But we tried to be nice. I think we were.

Ah, but now I understand.

I am the older aunt... and I CANNOT wait to see my parents' first grandchild, Cap.

Here he is years (decades) ago.. with his beautiful grandmother (my mother)...

I remember when he was born. It was AMAZING. Sam and I were in Georgia at missionary orientation (as we were leaving for Brazil in a few weeks), and we got word that Cap (Captain Emory Jones IV) (yes, that's right)) was born.
I. was. so. excited.
Peggy had a baby boy. And they were going to call him 'CAP'. That was such a neat name, I thought. And I could buy him caps for gifts!

So now I understand.

Cap has a kind of a specialness about him... no matter what he does, or how he acts.
He's the firstborn grandson.
My first nephew.

I will post pictures soon of our visit... and you will see why everyone swoons around him.

I would like for him to move closer... so to be in his life.
Well, I would like him to be in my life period.
He is such a quality person. No one like him.

He is so like his Granddaddy Andy (his personality and his looks)... and THAT IS SUPER-DELUXE.
Here he is with his Granddaddy Andy years ago...and if you know Cap, you know he can ride (run) a horse (he learned at his Granddaddy's)!!!

Oh yeah.

If you have any influence with him, tell him that this Mid-Cities Area (North East of Fort Worth) is THE PLACE TO BE.
C'mon. Tell him!!!

Yeah. He won't have to visit me every week... just special times.
I'm more than his aunt, after all.
His mother was my twin sister!! (That makes us close, doncha think?!)
